INPUT LEVEL meters
Two 12-segment LED bargraphs indicate the level of the incoming digital audio when the
input source is set to AES/EBU, CD/DAT, or Y2 (not affected by the level controls), or the
level of the analog input signals when the input source is set to ANALOG (controlled by
the “ANALOG IN” level controls).
6
OUTPUT LEVEL meters
Four 12-segment LED bargraphs that indicate the output level of channels 1 ~ 4. The
“CLIP” LED indicates an output level of +17dBm.
7 ANALOG IN LEVEL control
Independent level controls for analog input channels 1 and 2. As well as independent level
control, these controls can also be used to balance the left and right channels of a stereo
source connected to the analog inputs.
8
PHONES VOL
Adjusts the volume level of the headphones.
9
PHONES connection
A stereo 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) phone jack used for connecting a pair of stereo headphones.
All four CBX-D5 audio channels can be monitored – channels 1 and 3 appear in the left
speaker and channels 2 and 4 in the right.
NOTE: Unlike peak meters on analog equipment that light up approximately 3 ~ 6dB
before signal clipping, CLIP LEDs on digital equipment light up when the
signal has actually clipped. Digital audio signal clipping normally produces
unpleasant distortion, pops, and clicks, so care must be taken when setting
the recording level for analog input signals. See “Recording” on page 20 for
more details.
NOTE: Just like the input level meters, lighting an output level meter’s “CLIP” LED
should be avoided to prevent signal distortion. This situation may occur when
two or more CBX-D5 audio channels are mixed, or if excessive EQ is
applied. The CBX-D5 does not have any output level controls, the output
level is set by the controlling software.
NOTE: These controls have no effect on the AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2 digital
inputs and outputs.
